To establish an adequate evaluative method of existing tunnel deformation behaviors due to ground surface excavation above the tunnels, case studies of 23 tunnels' field measurement data and numerical parametric analyses using two dimensional FEM have been conducted. To sum up the contents; 1) Cracking of tunnel lining are roughly Tunnel deformation behaviors consist mainly of B/2 (h+D) (B: excavation width, D: tunnel diameter), lining rigidity, ground rigidity, contact condition between ground and tunnel lining, and ground initial stress K0.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
